Troubleshooting
Tool fails to start despite a full battery
Verify the battery is fully locked into the terminal and ensure the mode selector is fully engaged in one of the three designated positions.
Reduced drilling speed or hammer force
Check that the SDS Plus bit is properly seated and the chuck is clean. Ensure the battery charge level is sufficient, as XGT tools may throttle power when voltage is critically low.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool is designed for the Makita XGT 40Vmax battery platform. To set up, slide a charged XGT battery onto the base until it clicks into place. Ensure you select the appropriate mode using the selector dial on the side of the housing before applying pressure to the workpiece. For maintenance, regularly clear concrete dust from the SDS Plus chuck using compressed air to prevent obstruction. Keep the ventilation slots clean to avoid motor overheating, and inspect the rubber dampers periodically for signs of wear to ensure the AVT system remains effective.
